Journal Article
Kenyon, S. (2006). The 'accessibility diary': Discussing a new methodological approach to understand the impact of Internet use upon personal travel and activity participation. Journal of Transport Geography, 14(2), 123-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2005.10.005

Diary studies have become increasingly popular in the field of transport research since their first recorded use just over 60 years ago, allowing collection of data not only on patterns of travel, but also on the full context for travel. However, few... Read More about The 'accessibility diary': Discussing a new methodological approach to understand the impact of Internet use upon personal travel and activity participation.

How routine is a routine? An analysis of the day-to-day variability in prism vertex location (2006)
Journal Article

This study is concerned with how routine an individual's routine really can be. This question is addressed by examining the day-to-day variability of the time co-ordinate of the vertex of a time-space prism; in other words, by examining how the timef...

Attitudes towards vehicle driving behaviour: Categorising and contextualising risk (2006)
Journal Article

In driving motorised vehicles, the amount of risk accepted varies between individuals. Traditional theories of risk have tended to focus on a lack of skill as a function of risk taking and have ignored social motivations and attitudes for engaging in...

A simplified canonical form algorithm with application to porous metal plasticity (2006)
Journal Article
Keavey, M. A. (2006). A simplified canonical form algorithm with application to porous metal plasticity. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 65(5), 679-700. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.1462

A canonical form for the representation of material constitutive equations within standard finite element codes has been developed which is deceptive in its simplicity. Substitution of different equation systems is trivial and a consistent material J... Read More about A simplified canonical form algorithm with application to porous metal plasticity.
